The Board of Directors of PESC, the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council, is pleased to announce that public comment period is now open on the proposed XML standard for submitting and exchanging admissions applications.
The proposed XML standards for the Admissions Application, Education Test Score Reporting and IPEDS upload are all simultaneously open for public comment and share the same comment period expiration date. All three proposed standards as well as the numerous standards already approved by PESC (high school and college transcripts, student aid, etc.) are based on the same XML architecture and data modeling guidelines established and used by both PESC and the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Office since 2005.
With the development work recently completed and submitted to PESC, the Admissions Application specifications are now immediately ready for public comment period.
